TikTok Star and Gas Station Employee Shot Dead by Road in Saraburi Police Suspect Jealousy Motive

The incident occurred in Saraburi province where a female gas station employee, a "TikTok star," was shot dead by the roadside. Police are focusing on her "new boyfriend" as a suspect, suspecting jealousy and that she was lured by a trap call to the crime scene.

At 10:30 p.m. on 7 June 2026, Police Lieutenant Samboon Phongpoon, Deputy Investigator of Mueang Saraburi Police Station, along with the Saraburi Forensics Team, doctors from Saraburi Hospital, and the Sawang Rattana Thrai Saraburi rescue unit, received a report of a fatal shooting at an LPG gas station by the roadside on the Phahonyothin Road heading toward Lopburi, Village No. 7, Dao Rueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Saraburi. They informed Police Colonel Sakchai Kraiweeradechachai, Chief of Mueang Saraburi Police Station, and proceeded to investigate the scene.

They found the body of Ms. Chulaporn Rangkathong, also known as Nong Pon, aged 25, shot with a 9mm bullet once through the middle of her back exiting her chest, and once lodged in the left temple at the back of her head. She was wearing blue floral pajamas and was lying face up beside a white Honda Jazz sedan with Saraburi license plates, which was still running. Forensics officers collected evidence, including a black 20-liter gasoline canister placed next to the car, and gathered latent fingerprints to link to the perpetrator.

Police Colonel Sakchai Kraiweeradechachai, Chief of Mueang Saraburi Police Station, said the victim was identified as Ms. Chulaporn Rangkathong, known on TikTok as "Pon Khao, PT Girl," an employee at a gas station in Chalerm Phra Kiat District, Saraburi, not far from the crime scene.

The prime suspect is believed to be the victim's new boyfriend. According to detailed information, before the victim was killed, the boyfriend called her to meet, intending to refuel her with gasoline in a black 20-liter canister at the crime scene. The victim often refueled there because the boyfriend worked as a fuel truck driver and regularly brought gasoline for her.

It is known that at the time of the incident, the victim's three-year-old son was in the car with her. The police are investigating the motive, currently focusing on personal issues and jealousy. After committing the crime, the suspect fled, and the police are tracking him down to proceed with legal action.

The victim's parents came upon hearing the news and were crying continuously. They told police that their daughter worked as a gas station attendant and they were unaware of any problems she had with anyone or the reason behind the shooting that caused her death.

Meanwhile, the investigation team at Mueang Saraburi Police Station is pursuing the suspect and has sent the victim's body for a detailed forensic examination at Saraburi Hospital.
